After resting on Tamna Island for five days, the Song army left behind 2,000 troops and dozens of warships, and unloaded a large number of supplies, and the fleet was divided into two, a fleet of 200 cargo ships loaded with tea, porcelain, and silk to Nagasaki, Japan, and the other main fleet sailed to Maoren Island.

At this time, Japan was in the late Heiankyo period, which was the reign of Emperor Later Rengsen, but the real power was controlled by the Fujiwara clan, a foreign relative, and the local lords held the local real power, and the central court was in disobedience, and various struggles and contradictions continued for a hundred years, making Japan's domestic contradictions gradually come to the verge of intensification.

There were contradictions between the central and local lords, as well as between the imperial family and the Seki Fujiwara family, and at the same time, there were antagonisms between the Emperor and the Emperor within the Imperial Family, and there were also many factions within the Seki Fujiwara family.

Nagasaki belongs to the Hizen country of Japan, the lord is Hirano Yoshi, Nagasaki is Japan's historical trading port, and the Song Dynasty, Goryeo have a lot of trade, many Song Dynasty merchants settled here to do business, the most prosperous time up to tens of thousands of people.

According to the original plan, the expeditionary fleet needed to trade in Japan in exchange for a large amount of food, and at the same time learn about Japan's naval warfare capabilities.

At dawn, the fleet rushed through the fog of the bay and slowly entered the harbor docks.

Soon, the news of the arrival of the fleet immediately alarmed the harbor, and thousands of small merchants flocked from all directions to rush to buy goods from the Song Dynasty, which represented nobility and good quality, and were extremely popular throughout Japan, and a large number of Song Dynasty goods radiated from the port of Nagasaki to all parts of the Japanese archipelago.

The official in charge of the trade port is called Yu Xiaonian, about 30 years old, very shrewd and capable, an official of the city shipping department, who is in charge of official trade with Japan, and has a very rich experience in trade with Japan.

The wharf is very lively, there are special people who carry the goods to a greenhouse, some people are responsible for receiving big businessmen, there are also places to receive small businessmen, there are generally no rules, a box of goods is taken out, hundreds of small businessmen rush to offer, of course, it is traded with silver, and the highest price is taken away.

At this time, a middle-aged man was invited to the big ship, the middle-aged man's surname is Cheng, a native of Yuhang County, who has been in Japan for more than ten years, and is currently the largest Song merchant in Nagasaki, with huge assets, and has a very good relationship with the local samurai and the government.

Cheng Yuanwai knew Yu Xiaonian, he hurriedly clasped his fists and saluted, "It turned out to be Yu Guanren, it was really unexpected to me, why did this year's merchant ship advance in advance?" ”

The merchant fleet of the Song Dynasty usually came in late summer and early autumn, but this year it arrived in early summer, which really surprised Cheng Yuanwai.

"This year's situation is a little special, a little earlier, please go to the cabin outside, I have something to ask!"

"Don't dare, Yu Guanren, please!"

The two came to the cabin, sat down as guests, and Yu Xiaonian smiled: "Brother Cheng has been in Japan for almost fifteen years!" ”

"Yes! It's been fifteen years. ”

"Do you have any plans to go back?"

"Of course I have to go back, I am now forty-two years old, I want to go back before the age of fifty, I have purchased a manor in my hometown, and I am ready to retire in my hometown."

Cheng Yuanwai felt a little strange in his heart, and he smiled: "Yu Guanren needs my help with something, just say it!" ”

Yu Xiaonian smiled, "I have two things I want to ask Cheng Yuan, one is how much grain can Nagasaki procure?" ”

Cheng Yuanwai thought for a while and said, "There are 100,000 koku of rice, if you want more, you have to wait for a few months, and you need to go to all parts of Japan to raise it." ”

Although 100,000 stone is a little less, half a year's supply is enough, and the remaining rice can be purchased one after another.

He handed a list of material needs to Cheng Yuanwai, "This is the material we need, please raise it all within three months, and we will pay with cash." ”

Cheng Yuan saw that there were all kinds of daily necessities on the list, and there were even 300 prostitutes, he felt a little strange in his heart, but he didn't ask more, and said with a smile: "There is no problem with the materials, but the 300 prostitutes above are probably boat prostitutes!" There are some rules that I need to mention. ”

"Please!"

"The first is to ensure their safety, the second is to ensure their income, and the third is to go to sea with the ship, no more than three years, these are the three rules of being a ship prostitute."

"Yes, I can say yes!"

This is also one of Yu Xiaonian's tasks, the life of the Maoren Island garrison is boring, and the soldiers miss their hometown, so they need to recruit a group of prostitutes to stay on the island for a long time as a lubricant for life and comfort the soldiers stationed on the island.

Yu Xiaonian pondered for a moment and asked, "The second thing I want to know is about Hirano Yoshi, how much do you know about his strength?" ”

.........

The Sea of Japan was called the Sea of Whales in the Song Dynasty, and in order to obtain greater profits, merchant ships of the Song Dynasty often entered the Sea of Whales and went to the hinterland of Japan to look for business opportunities.

But none of them continued to sail north, and in the northern part of the Whale Sea, even fishermen only fish inshore, and they have never seen such a large fleet.

After nearly 20 days of sailing, at noon on this day, the fleet finally arrived at the south of Maoren Island, an island appeared in front, the island is about 40 miles long, 20 miles wide, this is the later Okushiri Island, it is covered with forests, see this island, Maoren Island is coming.

The soldiers on board cheered, and the crew of the big ship led by the ship had visited Maoren Island three times, and they were all familiar with the terrain, and the fleet passed through the south of the island.

At this moment, someone suddenly pointed and shouted: "Look, native! ”

I saw more than 100 canoes on the sea, the canoes were very slender and cut from a whole huge log, and one or two people sat on each canoe.

Everyone was dressed in animal or fish skins, with colorful feathers tied on their heads, and people constantly stood up and fired arrows at the big boat.

Although it is impossible to shoot down the big ship, it is an attitude of theirs to kill all the invaders.

They quickly left the island and paddled towards Maoren Island.

Fan Ning looked at these more than 100 natives, and there was a little pity in his heart, the Song Dynasty was about to occupy their land, this is the law of the jungle, in the Iron Age, which has reached its peak, these natives are still in a primitive state, but they still occupy such a large piece of fertile land, how can they not perish.

．．．．．．

An hour later they entered the strait between Maoren Island and Japan, and they circled to the other side of the peninsula, where there was a huge bay with calm seas, perfect for a large fleet of ships to anchor.

After another half-day voyage, the fleet sailed before dark into the Gulf of the Peninsula, the destination of the voyage.

The evening glow reflected the land in the distance, dyeing the sea and the land with a layer of gold, Fanning looked at the peninsula in the distance, and his heart was full of emotion, and after three years of planning, they were finally about to realize it.

"Fan Yushi, it's not nice to call Maoren Island, let's rename it!" Di Qing said with a smile on the side.

Previously, Zhao Zongshi renamed Tamna Island to Songma Island and set up Songma County and Tamna County, and now that they have finally arrived at Maoren Island, they naturally have to change it to the name of the Great Song Dynasty.

Fan Ning thought for a while and smiled: "Zhuang Ziyun, there are fish in the North Underworld, its name is Kun, Kun is so big, I don't know how many thousands of miles it is, we will call this place Kunzhou, the northernmost state of my Great Song Dynasty, what do you think?" ”

Everyone applauded, the name is magnificent, isn't this big island a big fish in the North Sea? They're in the fishtail seat right now.

Zhao Zongshi happily praised: "What a Kunzhou that doesn't know thousands of miles, let's go back and write to the Son of Heaven, it's called Kunzhou!" ”

He said to Di Qing again: "There are natives on the island, and their personalities are ferocious, so it is not suitable to go to the island at night, let's wait for tomorrow to land after dawn!" ”

Di Qing nodded, and then ordered: "Pass my order, the fleet will anchor in the bay and land early tomorrow morning!" ”

．．．．．．．．

The night shrouded the Kunnan Peninsula, and the trees on the island were dense, and in the silent night, there was a constant rustling sound in the woods, and some dark shadows haunted the trees, staring at the big ships in the distant bay with murderous and hateful eyes.

There are three indigenous people on the island, and they are the later Ainu, and the Japanese at this time called them Ezo people, and because of their thick body hair, they were also called Mao people.

These natives also migrated from the South China Sea thousands of years ago, living in the Maoren Islands, the Kuril Islands, Sakhalin Island, and the Kamchatka Peninsula in the north.

However, it is mainly concentrated on Maoren Island in the south, which has now been renamed Kunzhou by the Song Dynasty.

There are about 2,000 natives on the island, wearing animal skins, and mainly homemade bows and arrows and spears, and there are also many natives living in northern Honshu.

This is the real reason why Japan did not pay attention to Hokkaido at this time, and the people of Japan are mostly concentrated in the south-central part of Honshu Shimado, as well as Kyushu and Shikoku, while the north is covered by reckless primeval forests.

They hadn't even taken care of the northern part of their own island, and where could they afford to think about the more distant Ezo land.
